Micro Nav Limited awarded new contract by Guyana Civil Aviation Authority

Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has selected Micro Nav Limited (Micro Nav) to supply its Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) training department with its first 3D Tower Air Traffic Control (ATC) Simulator.

The Micro Nav Beginning to End for Simulation and Training (BEST) simulator comprises a 240-degree horizontal field of view 3D tower simulator with two training positions, a radar simulator with a single training position and three pseudo pilot positions. The purchase of the Micro Nav BEST simulator will support the Guyana ANSP in its continued effort to increase its training capability in-house.

The Micro Nav BEST 3D ATC simulator will be used by Guyana’s ANSP to train its air traffic controllers on the new layout of the Cheddi Jagan Airport, Guyana’s main international airport, ahead of the changes to the airport being completed. Cheddi Jagan Airport is undergoing a major upgrade, including extension of its runway, a new passenger terminal building with car parking and relocation of fuel tanks.

The Mico Nav BEST 3D ATC simulator will enable Guyana CAA air traffic controllers to be familiar with the new airport layout and allow testing of new procedures to be introduced as a result of the runway extension.

Mr. Rickford Samaroo, Director of Guyana’s ANSP, commented “The Micro Nav BEST 3D ATC simulator will ensure the safe transition of our ATC operations at the end of our airport upgrade. In addition, we will be able to increase future training productivity thus saving time and cost.”

Marcelo Hiayes, Sales Manager for Latin America, Caribbean & Africa atm Micro Nav said, “Micro Nav is very proud to be chosen and entrusted to deliver its BEST ATC simulator to the Guyana CAA. As the first supplier of an advanced ATC simulator to Guyana, Micro Nav will deliver a modern and future-proofed solution to support the current and future training requirements.”
